+/// App-global guard against re-entrant close-confirmation alerts.

+/// Close requests arrive from independent paths (TCA effects, Ghostty
+/// callbacks, the tab bar, the CLI socket), and `NSAlert.runModal()` keeps
+/// draining main-actor jobs while it spins, so a late request can try to
+/// present a second alert from inside the first one's run loop. AppKit may
+/// answer that nested modal with an uncaught NSException (SIGABRT, Sentry
+/// PROWL-MACOS-FP). While a confirmation is on screen, later ones are
+/// dropped and treated as cancelled.
